In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, yogurt, oil, vanilla and orange zest until well combined; whisk in zucchini, carrot, coconut and raisins until combined. Stir in flour mixture until just combined.

Scrape batter into prepared pan, and bake for 45-50 minutes or until deep golden brown and set. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes before removing.

Oh YUM! I just made zucchini muffins for breakfast this morning. This bread looks fantastic. Mmmm. Your pictures are so great, but I think it helps a lot that all your food turns out beautifully to start with. Talent, that's what you've got.

And I have to say there are a bajillion things you can do with zucchini from stuffing to frying to grilling to baking etc. Mmmm. Zucchini. I can't wait until our yellow ones come in.

I love zucchini bread, I love carrot cake, what a wonderful idea to combine the two! Your bread looks absolutely delicious, and I definitely want to try this recipe very soon. Thanks so much for sharing it!

My mom brought home some zucchini from work so this looks like the perfect way to use up some of it! YUM!

Oh..Hall and Oates. Last year my dad bought tickets to see them in concert (yes they apparently still tour) and mistakenly thought someone would want to go with him. My mom politely declined, as did I. I think my sister ended up going. lol

Aren't microplanes the best! Glad to hear you have one. Lucky you to have a garden of zucchini growing - I have always wanted to try stuffing zucchini flowers, but wouldn't have the faintest idea where to buy them. This bread looks delicious - I'll take your word for it that it tastes like Christmas in summer.

The bread looks delicious. I like that you used many spices, sounds great. I love my microplane....I'd be lost without it. I also used a cheese grater before and can't believe how much easier it is with a microplane!

I love zucchini in all forms, especially bread. Adding carrots is a great idea! It's the time of year everyone is blogging about zucchini... I just posted quinoa stuffed round zucchini a couple days ago!

Isn't the microplane awesome? I work at a kitchen store, and we're constantly selling out of them!

Just what I was looking for. I made a few adaptations to match what I did (or didn't ) have in my kitchen. I substituted 1/2 cup flour for whole wheat flour, added two small diced green tomatoes,used dried apricots instead of raisins, and added 3/4 cp chopped walnuts. Stop there and it is nice and healthy. But no, I decided to bake this in a cake pan, and added a cream cheese frosting flavored with an orange liqour. Then I grated a medium carrot, and boiled it down with 1/4 cp.orange liquor, 1 tbs. butter and two tbs. sugar until it was thick. I spread that on top of the frosting and sprinkled a few mini chocolate chips over the whole thing. It was for an employee party and it went over really well!

Ok, So, I am not much of a baker...but I know what I want to eat. I LOVED your recipe compared to so many others because it left room for substitutions. I used 1/2 c. greek yogurt and 1/2 c. applesauce, 1 c. zucchini, and 3/4 c. dried orange flavored cranberries. BEST BREAD EVER. Thank you so much for this winner recipe!!
